Billion Dollar Whale

The name was a joke, but it was also his mission statement.

And according to Billion Dollar Whale, the book that tells this story better than anyone as far as I can tell, he threw parties for his friends that became known for their excess.

Okay, for his 20th birthday, he reportedly rented a Philadelphia club and had a woman covered in sushi.

People started calling him the Asian Great Gatsby, and he could not have been happier about this.

The money was sent out as investment, okay? And then a big chunk of it, around $700 million, reportedly landed in an account of a company called Goodstar.

which was registered in the seashells, which prosecutors say Jolo controlled.

Once the money was in Goodstar, the authors of Billion Dollar Whale, again, the best book on this topic, in my opinion, they say it vanished at a pace that you can barely wrap your head around.

roughly 10 million dollars a month on yachts jets gambling and and this is a real detail uh paying celebrities to come hang out with him so it wasn't just a party in vegas he was paying these people hey we're taking the yacht to monaco i mean it's kind of loser energy right he's paying people to be friends with him but That's what's happening.
